Speeches by McIntyre.

“You touched on the focus being on NHS and healthcare settings. What can we do to see it differently in the future, so that we are focusing on other areas, too? In terms of the workforce, what would you like to see?”

“I will hand back to the Chair.”

“One final question to make sure I get it in. Claire, this is for you. How is the guidance on the neighbourhood multidisciplinary teams being implemented in practice?”

“We are in a really fortunate position in many ways, but we have been passed from pillar to post on this. We were told by a GP to go to the health visitor on it; the health visitor said that we need to go to a pharmacist; the pharmacist said no, we need to go back to the health visitor; they then said we need to phone 1…”

“To change the subject slightly, on that point about need, one of the challenges that parents in my part of the world are facing is around allergies. We know that allergies are massively increasing, particularly among babies,. With things like eczema, the research shows that allergies are likely to be involved as well. …”

“Thank you all for your answers so far. We have touched on some of the things that I was going to ask about. I have to declare an interest: I have a 20-month-old boy, and he of course falls firmly within the 1,001 days. I have been really interested to hear what you have had to say so far. One part of the conversation t…”

“Over recent months, I have consulted with constituents who have lived experience of disability and the welfare system and their representatives. I know that they will welcome the Secretary of State’s statement that protections for existing claimants will be protected, but one of the most heartbreaking stories I heard i…”

“Thank you all very much for being here this morning. To kick off, we heard a lot about this from the first panel, but what are the risks of children not being able to get timely access to an autism or ADHD assessment? Perhaps I can turn first to Professor Green.”

“I am very conscious of time. Does anyone else want to add anything on top of that?”

“What data or analysis is available on the longer-term cost to society and public services of poor access to assessment and treatment?”

“I am very conscious of time, so I will hand back to the Chair, because I am sure colleagues have lots of questions.”

“What would those interventions look like in terms of early support?”

“For the benefit of the Committee’s evidence, what are the key interventions that would allow us to address the inequalities in access to assessment and diagnosis, and what barriers would prevent us from making those work?”

“It is really integrated.”

“I think this is where I am meant to stand up and thank the Clerks, the Committee members, the Doorkeepers and Hansard—I know it has been a long and arduous process to get to this point. I look forward to the Bill’s further progress. I also thank you, Dr Murrison. Question put and agreed to. Bill accordingly to be repor…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Dr Murrison. Many hon. Members will be aware of the blight of drugs on our streets. The recent and ongoing emergence of novel synthetic opioids, particularly fentanyls and nitazenes, poses a particular risk to public safety and public health, not least because of their…”

“I thank every hon. Member who contributed to this debate. I am grateful to my right hon. Friend the Minister and the Government for supporting the Bill. I also thank my hon.

“4. What steps she is taking to reduce the number of children in poverty in Gloucester.”

“The expansion of free school meals will massively help families in my constituency of Gloucester and take them out of poverty. Can the Secretary of State confirm how many more families in Gloucester will be eligible for free school meals under the Government’s expansion, and what steps is she taking with the Secretary …”

“Does the hon. Gentleman accept that the short answer for his response to the hon. Member for South Devon is no?”
